This worked to 'cast' the mmap memory block to an integer:

   a= ctypesbuf.get( m, 0, ctypes.POINTER( ctypes.c_uint32 ) )

where ctypesbuf is a C extension module, and 'get' contains:

   ...
   char* seg= map->data+ index;
   PyObject* char_buf= PyObject_CallFunction( ctypesmod_cast, "IO",
seg, tp );
   return char_buf;

However I find no equivalent to 'map->data' in Python.
